(input voltage range 85 to 265 Va-c), 50-60 Hz (input frequency range 47-66Hz). They will also operate on 110V to 370V d-c input. The RKW 300W Series employs a light weight ferrite core with 200 KHz switching frequency. Regulation is provided by pulse width modulation. A power stage with a MOSFET on each side of the primary winding, operating in the forward mode provides a smooth isolated d-c output.

TABLE 2. POWER SUPPLY RATINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS (CONTINUED) SPECIFICATION DESCRIPTION Remote Control ON/OFF: "High", 2.4V to 24V (or open), unit OFF- Fan Off ; "Low", 0.0V to 0.4V (or closed), unit ON. Source current is 1.6mA maximum at low level, and sink current is 1.0 mA maximum at high level.
The power supply will startup from -20 to -10 °C but may not meet the specifications FIGURE 2. POWER RATING VS. TEMPERATURE Maintain a 1.25 in. (30 mm) min. distance between ventilation holes, fan surface and surrounding equipment and install to provide heat-outside air exchange FIGURE 3.
NOTE Unit is shipped with shorting links (not shown) connecting +RC to –RC (see PAR. 3.3) and REF to RV (see PAR. 3.2) and with local sensing cables installed (connects +DC Output to +S and –DC Output to –S) (see PAR. 5.2) FIGURE 4.
Sense terminals with a precision voltmeter and turn the voltage control to the desired operating value. Refer to Table 1 for the recommended Adjustment Range of all the RKW 300W Models REMOTE VOLTAGE CONTROL The unit is shipped with a shorting link in place between RV and REF terminals. Removal of this link allows the output voltage to be adjusted by either a trimmer pot (resistance) or by an external variable voltage source across the RV terminal and –S terminal.
terminals are shorted, the output returns to within specifications. At low level logic, the maximum source current is 1.6mA and at high level the sink current is 1.0mA. The RC terminals must remain shorted if remote ON-OFF is not used. The RC terminals are isolated from both the AC input and DC output terminals.
FIGURE 7. RKW 300W POWER FAILURE TIMING DIAGRAM UNDERVOLTAGE If the output voltage of the power supply falls below 80 percent of the programmed voltage the power failure alarm will go to the high logic state. LOAD CONNECTION CONNECTING THE LOAD USING LOCAL SENSING To connect the load for local sensing, connect the +S to (+) terminal and –S to (–) terminal.
5.3.1 CURRENT BALANCING Current balancing (equalization) conditions required for up to four RKW 300W units in parallel are: 1. Output current of each power supply should be within 20 to 90% of the total output current rating. 2. The output voltage of any Power Supply individually must be within 2% maximum of the other power supply output voltage setting.
5.3.2 MASTER-SLAVE CONFIGURATIONS Master-slave operation allows the output voltage of all the power supplies connected in parallel to be adjusted at the same time by using the Vadj control on the designated master power supply. 5.3.2.1 MASTER-SLAVE, MULTIPLE LOADS Figure 10 shows the master-slave connection of three power supplies in parallel, each having an independent load, with output voltage controlled by the Vadj control of the master power supply.
FIGURE 12. SERIES CONNECTION PRELIMINARY ELECTRICAL CHECK Connect an adjustable load across the power supply output terminals, on the top side of the front panel (see Figure 4). The load must have a dissipation rating of at least 600 Watts. Connect a voltmeter and an oscilloscope across the power supply output terminals (should be linked to the respective sensing terminals, +S and –S).
